Some Extra Photos

For all the Mely Fans out there, here are some extra photos of the South Shore Triathlon.

Mely getting ready the night before.  She checked her list twice, made sure she had all she need if the day was nauty or nice!

Step 1: Pick up your chip: check!

Step 2: Get Body Marked

Check on the body marking!

Step 3: Enter Transition.  Transition Check!

This is the area where Mely had her assigned spot to keep her bicycle and back pack for all that she needed for the race.

This is how the transition area looked at 5:45 AM!

If you look close enough, Mely is in green.  She is busy setting everything ready for the race ahead.

This is how lake Michigan looked at 6:10 AM

After the transition area closes at 6:30 AM they send all the athletes to the beach.  Athletes and friends headed to the beach for the swimming portion of the triathlon!

This is lake shore drive, where the bike portion of the Triathlon took place!

A fellow triathlete we knew, got these amazing pictures of Mely as she sprints for the finish line!

And he got an action shot!!!!

After our post race breakfast and naps, we had to return the Wet-Suit, clearly Mely had parting issues!
